The WMC132C is a 32 A single-pole 6 kA Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) built for high-load circuits with moderate to high inrush current - including cookers, workshop sockets and small machinery. Its C-curve tripping profile (5–10 × In) provides extra immunity to motor and transformer startup currents while ensuring rapid disconnection under fault conditions.

Fully tested to BS EN 60898, this MCB fits Whitecliffe consumer units and any standard DIN-rail enclosure. It delivers 6 kA breaking capacity and a service life of 20 000 mechanical operations — ideal for domestic and light-commercial installations requiring dependable surge-resistant protection.

Installer Tip: Choose C-curve breakers for circuits feeding motors, compressors or heavier appliances. They withstand brief surges that would otherwise trip a B-curve device.
